North of Cappadocia, on a windswept plateau in Corum, are the ruins of the city that ruled Anatolia at the same time as the pharaohs ruled Egypt. Hattusa was the Hittite capital, a walled city of temples and gates, and the treaty its king signed with Ramses II after the battle of Kadesh is the oldest surviving peace treaty in the world. Nearby are Yazilikaya, an open-air rock sanctuary carved with a procession of more than ninety gods, and Alacahoyuk, where the royal tombs and the famous bronze sun discs were found. The second day is Ankara, where the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations holds the originals of almost everything you saw the day before. Around it in the old quarter stand the Citadel and the Roman Temple of Augustus, and above the city is Anitkabir, the mausoleum where Ataturk lies, before your evening flight to Istanbul.

Good to know before you book

• The first day is a long one. Cappadocia to Hattusa is around four hours by road, and Ankara is another three hours beyond it, so we set off at 08:00, take lunch on the way and reach Ankara in the evening.
• Hattusa is a large site spread over a hillside and is visited partly by vehicle, with short walks at each gate and temple.
• The tour starts in Cappadocia and ends in Istanbul. You fly from Ankara on the second evening and are back at your Istanbul hotel around 23:00. Please plan your onward travel from Istanbul.
• This tour does not include assistant services at airports. The driver drops you at the terminal entrance, and you proceed to your gate after checking in your luggage.
